Predicted Duration of Workforce Outcomes

a. The Impact of Diabetes on Workforce Participation through Inception of the Cohort (the U.S. Population Who Were Ages 51–61 in 1992)†
Workforce Characteristic	Adjusted Duration, Diabetes (95% CI)*	Adjusted Duration, No Diabetes (95% CI)*	Incremental Duration*
Retirement	0.62 years	0.50 years	0.12 years
	(0.61, 0.64)	(0.49, 0.51)
Sick days, prior year	4.8 days	4.14 days	0.66 days
	(4.75, 4.85)	(4.1, 4.2)
Self-reported disability	1.68 years	0.69 years	0.99 years
	(1.61, 1.76)	(0.63, 0.71)
Not working due to health-related work impairment	1.32 years	0.62 years	0.70 years
	(1.27, 1.37)	(0.59, 0.64)
b. Cumulative Impact of Diabetes on Workforce Participation over Eight Years of Follow-up (1992–2000)
Workforce Characteristic	Adjusted Duration, Diabetes (95% CI)*	Adjusted Duration, No Diabetes (95% CI)*	Incremental Duration*
Retirement	2.82 years	2.68 years	0.14 years
	(2.77, 2.86)	(2.64, 2.72)
Sick days	21.5 days	19.1 days	2.4 days
	(21.3, 21.8)	(18.9, 19.3)
Self-reported disability	1.43 years	0.64 years	0.79 years
	(1.37, 1.50)	(0.61, 0.67)
wMortality	0.79 years	0.25 years	0.54 years
	(0.77, 0.81 years)	(0.25, 0.25)

^*The adjusted duration is the prediction of the average duration of the outcome in all subjects, based on the estimates from the two-part regression model; these are adjusted for demographic status.
